Kindergarten  2025 

We look forward to welcoming new families to Kindergarten in 2025. Please see below our 'Kindy Transition' information poster.

Starting school is an important step in a child’s life. At St Georges Basin Public School, we believe in the importance of strong home/school, teacher/parent partnerships from the very first day of your child’s schooling. For this reason, we organise preschool visits and a Kindergarten transition program, which includes informal playgroup sessions prior to our orientation mornings where parents and children can get to know each other.

The transition program provides opportunities for children starting Kindergarten to settle into a school routine, meet teachers, mix with groups of other children and engage in both structured and unstructured learning activities. 

The playgroup sessions and Kindergarten Orientation mornings will be held in Term 4. Our Kindergarten Orientation Program includes information sessions for parents and classroom time for children.

BEST START DATE CHANGES - PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE BEST START DATES ON THE POSTER BELOW HAVE NOW CHANGED, DUE TO A DEPARTMENT CALENDAR CHANGE FOR 2025.  WE WILL SHARE THE NEW BEST START DATES WHEN WE HAVE FURTHER INFORMATION.

Best Start Assessments - February 2025

Children enter Kindergarten with different skills and experiences.  

The Best Start Kindergarten Assessment is a tool to help teachers find out each child’s skills, strengths and understanding of literacy and numeracy at the  beginning of Kindergarten.  These are held in our new learning hub and take approximately 40 minutes.  

Best Start Assessment dates are yet to be clarified, due to the Department making calendar changes in Term 4.  We will post the new dates here when we have them confirmed. Thank you for your patience.

Appointment times will be between 9:00am through to 1:00pm.  Openings up to 1:40pm may open up if we need more time slots due to added enrolments.

Invitations go out through email later in the year to families who have enrolled with the school so you can book a time slot for Best Start. If you don’t have access to a computer or the internet, please contact the office for assistance. 

Your first day of Big School will be Monday 10th February 2025.
